[Kzyxtalk] Good-bye to the fruits.

[Marco McClean]

Subject: Good-bye to the fruits.

/"I met a guy online and we saw a movie on our first date. At the end of 
the night when acting like he was going in for a kiss he put his whole 
mouth over my nose and blew into it. Laughing, he said he does this to 
his dogs and calls it a puppy trumpet." -Danielle Snook/

Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2024-04-05) 8-hour Memo of 
the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org (and, for the first hour, also 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino):

Coming shows can feature your story or dream or poem or kvetch or 
whatever. Just email it to me. Or include it in a reply to this post. Or 
send me a link to your writing project and I'll take it from there and 
read it on the air.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily-radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

Pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about solar eclipses.

The solar eclipse story from someone who was home-schooled. In Bizarro 
World.

Trailer for Antigone. Could do with an umlaut or two in the title, to 
suit the metal parts.

The influences of /Ark of the Fun God/ and other similar filmic 
enjoyments, such as En Busca del IDOLO PERDIDO. (60 min.) (via b3ta) 
This gets more and more interesting as you watch.

Is Mr. Coffee Nerves wrecking your marriage? Postum can solve that, 
except you can’t buy it anymore, since they stopped selling it in 2007. 
It tasted like tea made of breadcrumbs, with a drop of molasses. I use 
green tea from the dollar store; it’s like a penny per teabag, and it’s 
not great but it’s not bad. Green tea has some caffeine in it, but even 
less than other kinds of tea. Unlike coffee, it doesn’t make me nervous 
or cranky, or keep me awake, nor does it give me a headache if I forget 
to have it one day, or ever. There’s an old saying, “The elf in tea is 
gentler than the elf in coffee.”

John Barth died this week. Here are three of his stories, including 
/Good-bye to the Fruits./ Click on the text and scroll down.

And Ashley Campbell – 50 Ways. I like the scene layout and historical 
singing poses as much as the music. Especially the 
art-deco/high-frontier sideways-Egyptian /ta-dah!/ one at the end. 
Dinner dishes with this sort of thing printed on them would sell in any 
era when people have money to buy dishes anywhere but the dollar store, 
speaking of the dollar store.
